    I recently created a new user account in Windows XP. When I transferred all my files, they ended up being corrupted somehow. This is true of all the files: jpg, word documents, excel documents and mp3s. What can I do???? I desperately need to access all of these files a.s.a.p. I deleted the old user account the files were contained in, but saved the files. Now I cannot even seem to find those old files :(
    Thanks to anyone who can help me solve this problem. Feel free to answer directly in an email at Removed by Moderator because I have no idea how to check for responses.

    Peace,

    Ginger

    SinWithGin - Welcome to the Board :)
    How do you know that they are corrupted? Do you receive a message that you do not have authority to open the files - or words to that effect?

    If that is the case read here .....

    Did you save them to another location on your hard drive in addition to copying them to the new profile?
